Description
Honey is one of nature's wonders. Honey has been around for a long time and
yet we know little about it. It is nothing more than nectar gathered from
the blossoms of many flowers by bees. It is then taken into the beehive and
changed by the worker bees. Worker bees remove the liquid from the nectar.
The finished product is heavy syrup with 12 to 20 percent moisture and 80 to
85 percent sugar. It is a good source of quick energy for the human body.

Cosmetic Uses
Honey and beeswax
are used in the beauty industry to soften and heal the skin tissue and help
attract moisture to the skin. Most lipsticks are made with a beeswax base.
Honey can be used in making effective facials. Mix one or two tablespoons of
honey with one-third cup finely ground oatmeal. Oatmeal can be ground in a
blender. The amount of honey used depends on your thickness preference.
Blend in a teaspoonful of
rose
water or tap water. Clean face thoroughly. Spread facial mixture evenly over
face. Relax for ten minutes to one half hour. Remove with a soft washcloth
and warm water. Rinse with cold water or use an astringent. Use this facial
once a week for improved softness in the skin. This treatment also works
well for oily complexions.

Honey comes in many flavors depending on from which flower the bees gather
the nectar. Milder flavors of honey include Mesquite and Cotton. Orange
honey comes from citrus areas. There are many flavors of wild flower honey.
The flavors vary from year to year. Not only are the flavors varied but
honey also comes in many different forms. Comb, chunk, fine textured,
liquid, and even solid honey that is sometimes called granulated are all
forms of honey. In the United States, we are most familiar with liquid and
fine textured forms. Liquid and fine textured honey are recommended for
baking.

Honey is kind to our skin. Superior quality Honey and Beeswax Cosmetics
use, which are both luxurious and refreshingly natural are a boon to
cosmetics. As well as healing honey, cosmetics contain soothing oils. It
penetrates the skin deeply and is a natural product that is very safe to
use.

Uses
Honey boasts many medical benefits. Honey has aided in bad coughing spells
for years. An effective mix for coughing is to peel and finely chop one
pound of onions. Add two ounces of honey and ¾ of a pound of brown
sugar in two pints of water. Simmer gently over low heat for three hours.
When cool, put in an airtight container and take four to six tablespoons a
day. As in any illness, it is best to consult a doctor. It is also a mild
laxative. People have also boasted that chewing the thin wax cappings sliced
from the comb of honey once a day for one month before the start of the hay
fever season greatly reduces hay fever symptoms. Chewing these cappings has
also helped sinus sufferers.

Your throat feels scratchy. Swallowing hurts, and it's an effort to raise
your voice above a whisper. You could suck on a cough drop or down some
cough syrup, or you could choose to drink a cup of hot tea laced with honey.
Many professional singers and announcers reach for the honey jar to soothe
the symptoms of an irritated or sore throat. But did you ever think of
applying honey to a burn or a scrape? Scientists are discovering that the
bee's number one commodity could be good medicine for us.
